Aerostratospheric Introduces xHABsat, a High Altitude Sensor Array Module for Its Flight Platforms

OLNEY, Ill., Oct. 21, 2026 – Olney, Illinois-based Aerostratospheric has introduced xHABsat, its high altitude sensor array module. xHABsat comes in two software versions and two layouts: one built for the xAirship-S smaller airship platform, and a stratospheric version paired with Aerostratospheric's X2Griffon and x1Albatross flight platforms.

An Arduino flight computer runs the array, shows live status on a small onboard display, and logs each flight to a memory card. An insulated enclosure helps protect the electronics in cold conditions. Details are preliminary and subject to change. More information: https://midwestsds.com/platforms.html#xhabsat.
